PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATL) is engineered to exceed the requirements of GM, Ford and Toyota where low-viscosity oil is required. The highly-specialized properties of this light-bodied fluid provide outstanding performance without compromising protection, even in severe operating conditions.
Automatic transmissions have become increasingly complex as vehicle manufacturers strive to improve efficiency while satisfying consumer demands. Smaller, smoother-shifting transmissions with longer fluid life capabilities and heavier load capacities are now standard. Traditional ATFs, however, are unable to meet these extreme requirements, and new fluids have emerged with each new advancement in transmission engineering. AMSOIL, with its original introduction of a synthetic ATF in 1980, remains the leader in transmission fluid quality. AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is formulated with the highest-quality components to exceed the most stringent industry standards. The quality and performance of AMSOIL Synthetic ATL is guaranteed.
Exceptional Hot- and Cold- Temperature Performance Thermal Stability
Hot temperatures are no excuse for poor reliability. Naturally heat resistant and heavily fortified with anti-oxidants, AMSOIL ATL exceeds the most demanding oxidation requirements. AMSOIL ATL delivers outstanding protection against sludge and varnish deposits that clog narrow oil passages and contribute to clutch glazing. Transmissions can operate hotter and longer with AMSOIL ATL than with conventional fluids.
Cold-Temperature Fluidity
Cold, thick automatic transmission fluid lengthens shift times and reduces fuel economy. AMSOIL Synthetic ATL is wax-free and delivers extraordinary cold-flow properties. Shifting is more responsive, energy efficiency is improved and warm-up times are reduced.
Outstanding Wear Protection
Varying speeds and loads causes torque multiplication and extreme stress on gears and bearings. To prevent wear damage resulting from insufficient fluid film, AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity ATF is formulated with high film strength (shear stability) and a select anti-wear/extreme-pressure additive that develops a boundary layer of protection between metal surfaces. Even though AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is a low-viscosity, fuel-efficient fluid, it has demonstrated its ability to protect as well as or better than higher-viscosity fluids in the most severe industry tests.
Friction Durability
Todays transmissions are smaller and must withstand higher horsepower and torque while delivering smoother shifts, all with longer fluid life recommendations. AMSOIL Synthetic ATF is formulated with friction modifier additives that deliver outstanding clutch-holding capacity, torque-transfer ability and anti-shudder properties.
Extends Fluid Service Life
Modern transmissions are smaller in design, yet are called upon to deliver smoother shifts and longer fluid-life capabilities in higher-horsepower and higher-torque conditions. AMSOIL placed great emphasis
on developing a fluid to effectively address the complex demands related to friction.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is recommended for automatic transmissions and other applications requiring DEXRON VI, MERCON LV, SP or Toyota WS.
AMSOIL Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid is backward compatible and replaces DEXRON III fluids in older GM automatic transmissions. (DEXRON VI specification supersedes the obsolete DEXRON III in GM vehicles.)
SERVICE LIFE
Synthetic Low-Viscosity Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATL) is
recommended for use up to 50,000 miles under severe
service* and up to 100,000 miles under normal service*
or according to the vehicle manufacturer recommended
intervals, whichever is longer. AMSOIL recommends
thoroughly draining the transmission and flushing with new
AMSOIL ATF to achieve a minimum 90% purity of new
transmission fluid. Drain intervals may be extended further
with oil analysis.
* As defined by the vehicle
or transmission manufacturer.
